Montage of a Maniac

Barely getting by I could hardly tell, Mama did a good job hiding stress from all outstanding bills. I was only 9 when I stole Money from my Mamas purse I just watched Mama and my step dad argue back and forth I never apologized but I did feel guilty tho I just thought cause we lived in a trailer we weren’t broke no more I mean some of my friends got paid just for doing chores While the rest of us stole water balloons and candy from the store My partner told meeee he keeps getting called trailer trash Don’t listen to them haters me and you both know its not that bad It don’t matter where you start it just matters where you end up at Plus look at Eminem one day im gonna be like him We gonna move out of the trailer park to a big ass house We gon drive a faster car you know what im talking bout We gon figure it out, we only kids, we shouldn’t be stressing out We gon help each other out, me and my brother till the wheels fall out Hook: (2nd bar) life is a mirage, this is my montage (4th bar) life is a mirage, this is my montage Verse 2: Money on my mind im tryna make a mill I just graduated bitch im str8 out of Kelloggsville Go down 48th and get topped by the football field Topper number 5 its time for us to get out of here On a serious note its time to go to college Most people I know said they going to college I don’t even know what im gonna study yet Whatever brings the most dough in thats encouragement And im not tryna look dumb for not enrolling We all want success we all want to show it Even if it means going into debt, trying to impress, People who could care less, why do we expect Love and recognition from all these people When you go down bad they won’t help you either Fuck them I don’t need em either Lost financial aid for insufficient grades Fuck this shit im dropping out Ill find another route Hook: (2nd bar) life is a mirage, this is my montage (4th bar) life is a mirage, this is my montage Verse 3: California dreams made reality Im tryna get paid heavily just to rap on beats Im 27 years old chasing a teenage dream Most people I know have kids or Married happily delay I chose passion over money thats okay with me I haven’t been this broke since a child but im chasing dreams Hollywood is cool but its hella weird I guess it fits me well Ima get a star here, helicopters always near. There’s been so many nights of discouragement Feeling ike im barely hanging on like an Ornament Facebook reminds me everyday how my life was back then Scrolling down seeing my peoples doing big things is encouraging Yall don’t even know how much yall inspire me My city full of talent you should sponsor we We don’t speak much but there’s still love between Thank you all so much for waiting patiently
